Yale clinical developmental neuroscientists: “Every day of separation... matters in the life of a young child, and even a few months’ delay while the Biden administration decides how to proceed is enough to intensify the adverse effects of trauma.” https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-12-08/immigration-family-separation-policy-trump-administration
“Deporting children to countries from which their families fled — and where they are likely to experience additional trauma — places them at an even higher risk, because past exposure to trauma heightens the likelihood of developing [PTSD].” https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-12-08/immigration-family-separation-policy-trump-administration
“Thousands of children are waiting for the Biden-Harris administration to make good on its promise, and every day matters.” https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-12-08/immigration-family-separation-policy-trump-administration
We’re still waiting to hear from Biden-Harris team on whether they’ll allow reunification of families separated by Trump in the United States, something @dylanggee and her @Yale colleagues call for in their science-based piece.
